Well, we made a very good run at Fairport yesterday, but fell just short, 27-30. The downside was our huge 1-5 and 1-7 gaps, which were 1:58 and 2:21, respectively. We can't make the jump to the next level of competition without closing those gaps, and we have the capability to do it - there are still 10-15 boys with a chance to make the top 7 this year. Someone will certainly have a breakthrough.
Just about everything else was great. From Kenny leading the way to a 2-3-4 finish against Fairport, to AB catching a Fairport runner from way back with 800 to go, to Geoff putting up his best race, with his pack in pursuit and almost breaking 20, to the continued improvements of JP and Afro Thunder, to nice runs by a host of rookies, and to Bobby completing his first 5K race. There is much to look forward to, as the season (and your high school careers) progress.
For the girls, Alaina was the heroine. We were in danger of being shut out, 15-50, by all three teams, but Alaina beat the 7th runner on all of the teams (plus the 6th runner for Penfield). Khristyna and Sarah W. continued their huge improvement over last year, beating their times on this course by over two minutes. Karen made a very nice debut, finishing 4th for the team.
